Xia Wen's voice is excited, "go and see if you're coming to us."

Waiting behind you, the servant girl ran out quickly, and the sound of her feet was like stepping on the hearts of two people.

The sound of Suona is getting closer and closer, and the hearts of Xia Wen and you are getting higher and higher.

"Master, Madame!"

The servant girl cried and ran in, full of joy. "It's to send us good news. It's said that young master Qi'er has passed the entrance examination for a scholar."

"Come on! Come on! Come on, welcome in

Xia Wen said, feel wrong, quickly walk out, "I go to the door to meet."

You Shi also followed to walk outside, walk to the door, just remember Xi silver didn't take, command servant girl, "take Xi silver."

Xiyin has been ready for a long time. They are all ten taels of silver spindles. They are put in a tray covered with red silk, and there are two trays of copper plates beside them, which are for the people watching.

Outside the door, the sound of Suona kept ringing, followed by people half the street.

The person who came to report the good news was Meng Lin. seeing master Xia coming out, he raised his hand to signal the suona hand to stop, and then arched his hand to Xia Wen, "Congratulations master Xia, master Fengqi has won the small three yuan!"

A sound out, half of the street pumping sound, look at Xia Wen's eyes are envious, Fengqi small age then in the small three yuan, after the gold list title is nothing to say.

Xia Wen's happy beard trembled, "come on, reward!"

The servant girl came up with a plate and led a servant girl to untie the red silk. The big silver spindle was shining silver in the sun.

It's another puff.

Several yamen servants who came with Meng Lin to deliver the good news almost laughed. They knew it was a fat man, but they didn't expect that Xia Wen would be so generous.

Meng Lian clasped his fist and said, "thank you for your reward!"

A yamen servant came up, took up his clothes, and the maid poured in the silver spindle.

Tiger ran out, just to see this scene, turned and ran back, "sister-in-law, you hurry up, uncle, he is stupid, give people a lot of money."

Xia Xi

Wave to him, wait for him to his side, bow to explain, "that's a reward for them."

"Why give the reward?"

"Because they came to deliver the good news."

Tiger son seemed to understand, scratching his head a few times.

Meng Lin had already seen her, and saluted her politely, "Xia Niang Zi, Congratulations, Congratulations!"

Xia Xi to the door, nodded, "thank you."

"No, it's my job."

Meng Lin gave her the good news, "our master said, let young master Qi'er go to the Yamen to register his status as a scholar, and then send him silver every month."

Xia Xi nodded, "I know, I will take him in the afternoon."

Meng Lin wanted to say something else. He was interrupted, "Lady Xia, you are so lucky to have such a clever son."

Xia Xi raised her voice, "I'm flattered. Qi'er's success in the examination of a scholar is entirely due to the credit of the college teachers."

See her talk, onlookers came to the spirit, good words out of the basket, "college students can be a lot, only young master Qi'er in the small three yuan, can be seen is born."

"Yes, yes."

There was a chorus.

Meng Lin knew that they just wanted to win a silver medal. He lowered his voice and said, "Lady Xia and master Xia, if you have copper, you can sprinkle some on it. It's just for luck."

"Yes, yes!"

Xia Wen asks the servant girl to bring up the two trays, lift up the red silk, expose the copper plate inside, grab a lot and throw it out.

The crowd was in a mess.

You also followed to catch and scatter.

Tiger son a see, also want to follow to rob, be pulled by Qi son, "small uncle, don't go over!"

Tiger always listen to him, standing still, but his eyes have been staring at him, not envious.

Xia Xi knows what he thinks and signals the servant girl to lower the tray. "Tiger, you've caught it and thrown it out."

This is also fun, tiger eyes lit up, caught a large number of thrown out, watching people come to grab, and caught a, excited not, "Kiel, Eun, flowers, you also throw ah."

Qi'er and you'en stand still. You Hua grabs them with a small hand and throws them out like him.

After burning incense, the noisy scene was over. When I picked up more, I was happy. When I picked up less, I was also excited. I took the copper plate and left one after another.

Waiting for people to go almost, Meng Lin arched, "master Xia, madam Xia, lady Xia, we also go back to hand over."

Xia Xi nodded, a few people happy to leave, turned a corner, with silver spindle yamen leaning on the wall, "no, I have to rest."

There are more than ten silver spindles. Each of them has more than two. Since he was born, he has never seen so many.

"Look at your promise."

Meng Lin scolded with a smile. He came forward to count the silver spindles one by one and pointed to the remaining three. "Let's not be too greedy. Don't take them alone. Let's take them back. Let's let the remaining brothers have them one by one. Let's have a drink."

If in the past, the rest of the Yamen servants would definitely not work. This is an unwritten rule. Whoever gave the good news and the reward would go to him. Otherwise, every year they were looking forward to this day, but today they gave too much. If they took it alone, they would be excluded in the future. They all nodded their heads and agreed, "it should be."

……

Xia Wen's steps back were all floating. He read the good news over and over again and kept asking you, "I'm not dreaming again, am I?"

In front of Xia Xi's face, you Shi is embarrassed to pinch him, "what dream, dream has so real?"

Xia Wen laughs and laughs all the way. Xia Xi thinks of Fan Jin's Zhongju. She is scared and shouts, "Dad!"

Xia Wen was startled, turned back and glared at her, "scared me to death."

Then he laughed again, "you are so loud, I should not be in a dream."

Xia Xi

……

Pingyang County once again fried the pot.

In the streets and alleys, men and women, young and old, are talking about it. The dean of the college and the teachers are also very happy and crazy. They are not going to class. They get together and are talking about it enthusiastically.

Liancheng didn't go to the Academy today. He was waiting at home.

When the news came, he took a long breath, then slapped the table heavily.

Bang!

Even the madam is caught off guard, startled, "master, what are you mad about?"

"Bring the wine, ma'am, and I'll have a good drink."

Mrs. Lian

Qing'er and master Zhang naturally got the news. They came in a carriage. Before they entered the door, the excited voice came first, "father, mother, elder sister, is it true? Does Qi'er really win the small three yuan

Words fall, people enter the door.

You is still in the excitement, laughing, "of course it's true, we just received the good news."

"Let me see."

You Shi gave him the good news. Qing'er read it over and over again. She happily pulled Qing'er and gave him several kisses on his face. "I knew that my nephew would be promising!"

Master Zhang's face darkened.
